Album Notes

FEAST - CELTICA SINFONIA This is the live recording of the spectacular Irish St. Patricks Music and Dance Show featuring the electrifying Celtic band FEAST. The highly combustible Strings of Fire fiddling duo from Lord of the Dance is one of the many highlights of the show. Other Celtic favorites on this disc include Tam Lin, Star of the County Down, Last Rose of Summer, and Greensleeves. FEAST is pushing the frontiers of excitement in Irish music. With the unusual combination of violin, cello, piano, harp, and drum set, with guest artists on viola, bass, bagpipes, and trumpet, they deliver a rocking show that connects deeply to audiences. All members are classically trained musicians and many have performed and toured internationally as acclaimed soloists. Virtuoso temperaments and symphonic textures characterize the awesome sound of FEAST. A virtual wall of gorgeous string sound, sensuous harp sonorities, the Great Highland Bagpipes, a battery of gutsy percussion instruments, make this an incredible Irish musical experience for the whole family!
